    Stream as return function

    Hi,

    Could anyone please let me know if there are any functions that reads a .txt file and returns a stream?

    FileStream

    Use msdn for this sort of thing next time.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ClassTopic.asp

    You can pass this FileStream to either StreamWriter or StreamReader.. then you dont have to deal with an array of bytes to read and write.

    But I need a Stream as return type. The external fn I'm using is not working when I pass the FileStream object
    I need to pass a Stream object. Can I do that?

    More specifically, I need to put the text into a stream without creating a file.
    Can I do that in C#?

    MemoryStream

    Once again, use MSDN.

    If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
